The scenic Spirit of the Suwannee Music Park in Live Oak, FL has another gem up its sleeve. This time, with a funky livetronica edge and double doses of some of our favorite acts. Having found its home nestled in a beautiful corner of Florida along the Suwannee River, AURA Music & Arts Festival offers an intriguing lineup and vibrant culture for you to immerse yourself in February 14-16.

With all the talented livetronica flooding the bill, AURA is the premier festival in not only the southeast, but the entire country, bringing together the best acts from around the nation who like their jam with a little electro. Or is it EDM with a little improv? However you want to slice it, this unique lineup is a who's-who of bands that are blending genres like cake batter.

The Lotus Lounge, a massive circular sculpture inspired by the lotus flower that will house hammocks and loungers, along with a sound system and professional light display.

There will be lots of opportunities to connect with others with activities like yoga, dance, hooping and meditation workshops and classes. A disc golf tournament will be held on the venue’s wooded Magnolia Disc Golf Course.
